One thing I have seen far too many times is that a strong QA team may lead to developers not feeling the responsibility of making sure things works themselves. This often leads to worse quality.
This is or course a social issue rather than a technical and I'm sure that many developers do not suffer from this mindsdt. But it's been there to some degree in almost all companies I have consulted for.
Surely you have seen this mindset yourself?
- garethrowlands 6y agoI've seen this and agree with you. Though, if the nature of your QA teams led to worse quality, you might want to find a term other than "strong" to describe them. Because "strong" implies you want more of that, which isn't what you meant at all. Perhaps "dominant"?
